The two, who were just moments ago at loggerheads, suddenly became humble, leaving Su Wenyuan completely bewildered.

"How can you say it's not worth mentioning? Everyone says that merchants are shrewd and capable, but I've certainly seen it for myself in you."

Nian Huai waved his hand and said, "I am just a commoner, earning a little money to make a living. I can't compare to the prince's overwhelming power."

Su Wenyuan found it increasingly strange and interrupted, "Are you two saying anything nice?"

This doesn't sound like a compliment; it sounds more like mockery.

Nian Huaizhong laughed and said, "If you don't understand, that's fine."

He advised Su Wenyuan to leave the Prince Chen's residence because Sheng Jingyu was too calculating. He didn't ask for money directly, but instead gave them benefits so that they would voluntarily hand over the money.

The key benefit is exactly what the Yu family needs!

With such deep scheming, how will Su Wenyuan ever be able to defeat her in the future?

Sheng Jingyu understood his meaning and sarcastically remarked that Nian Huaizhong was scheming and not a kind person.

Both of them felt that the other was cunning and harbored ill intentions towards Su Wenyuan.

Su Wenyuan shrugged and said, "I don't understand. I believe whatever you two say without thinking twice."

Sheng Jingyu spoke gently, "Trusting me is enough."

Nian Huai finally retorted, "You should still trust me."

"Can we get down to business?" Su Wenyuan changed the subject.

From the moment she said that, she truly couldn't understand their conversation anymore.

Nian Huai was indeed a proper businessman. He first agreed to become a royal merchant, and then did his best to bargain with Sheng Jingyu.

Taking advantage of the fact that Sheng Jingyu couldn't find anyone more suitable than them, and even if there were such a person, Sheng Jingyu wouldn't have time to look for them.

The lack of money is a major problem, not to mention the need to recruit soldiers and prepare military supplies and weapons.

He knew the capabilities of Nian Huaizhong and his group, which was the source of Nian Huaizhong's confidence when they talked.

Finally, Sheng Jingyu made another condition: he wanted the Yu family to become imperial merchants, but the Yu family currently lacked members, so they never had a legitimate status.

Without being given a formal identity, outsiders would hardly consider them to be Su Wenyuan's maternal family.

Nian Huai suddenly realized and chuckled, "It seems that someone actually took your act seriously last time."

Su Wenyuan feigned pitifulness, saying that she was helpless and vulnerable to being bullied in the future, and that no one would stand up for her.

It was just a casual remark, meant to discourage Nian Huaizhong and the others from risking their lives.

Sheng Jingyu remembered these words.

Sheng Jingyu turned his head away uncomfortably, afraid that Su Wenyuan would overthink things and affect his mood.

"How can we make it legitimate? How can we get my father to acknowledge that I am the adopted son of the Marquis of Anle?"

Sheng Jingyu continued, "Talking isn't enough. We need evidence, we need to talk about the past. It can't all just come out of thin air. We also need to tell you how we escaped. I want these stories to spread throughout the streets and alleys."

Nian Huai sighed. He didn't want to work for Sheng Jingyu, but if he refused, those people would devour him alive when he returned.

"I can't make that decision myself; I need to ask my father."

Sheng Jingyu gestured for him to ask and said, "Ask anyone you like, I'll wait for your news."

Lian Heng and the others will definitely agree, not for their own glory, but because the Yu family's reputation will not simply disappear.

Sheng Jingyu needed a group of businessmen who knew how to make money, and Su Wenyuan also had a powerful backer.

After leaving the capital, Lian Heng and the others found a quiet place to retire.

Everything in the capital was entrusted to Nian Huaizhong.

After receiving Nian Huaizhong's letter, he rushed to the capital without even writing a reply.

First, they confirmed the truth of the matter, and Nian Huai finally said that Sheng Jingyu had come to say it himself.

They immediately agreed without asking about the specific conditions.

Nian Huai was helpless and knew it would be like this. Fortunately, he was still sober and talked to Sheng Jingyu about many benefits that day, which would make things easier for them later.

Now that you've agreed, we can get started.

After a few days, the news spread throughout the capital and everyone knew that Yu Qingzhu had a sworn brother who, after fleeing the capital, had always wanted to seek justice for the Yu family.

He gathered the shopkeepers, waiters, maids, and servants who had worked for the Yu family, and together they traveled far and wide, searching for evidence that the Yu family had not betrayed the country.

This was also confirmed by Su Wenyuan, and some people also witnessed that Lian Heng's son, Nian Huaizhong, had entered and exited the Prince Chen's residence many times.

And so, they acquired their identities, and Lian Heng and Nian Huai finally changed their surname to Yu.

Sheng Jingyu established a trade bureau to first establish trade with the surrounding small countries. Qi Kong Kingdom still had to wait for a reply from the emperor of Qi Kong Kingdom.

The Yu family also acquired the status of imperial merchants. Instead of moving into the Yu family's old mansion, they were arranged by Su Wenyuan to move into the original Su mansion.

Su Wenyuan originally wanted them to stay in the Anle Marquis's mansion, which was later renamed the Duke's mansion.

But Lian Heng said that he was, after all, an adopted son, and it would be inappropriate for him to become the master of the Duke's mansion.

He plans to buy a new house to live in.

Su Wenyuan still held the original Su Mansion in her hands, and the Banyan and Bamboo Courtyard was personally designed by Yu Qingzhu. It was a pity to leave it empty. This time, Lian Heng did not refuse and changed the plaque on it to Yu Mansion.

After they moved in, Su Wenyuan met with them.

Before she could even speak, a group of people burst into tears because she looked so much like Yu Qingzhu.

In the end, Su Wenyuan didn't say anything and just told them to live their lives well.

Everyone expressed that they would still be members of the Yu family and would do their best to protect Su Wenyuan.

Before Su Wenyuan could speak, Meng Qi rushed in and said in a low voice, "There's an emergency in the palace. The Emperor is going crazy in the harem."

"Let's go to the palace." Su Wenyuan prepared to take a look.

She hadn't seen the Emperor for a while, and Sheng Jingyu was afraid that the Emperor's current appearance would frighten her. The more this was the case, the more curious Su Wenyuan became.
